Hello
Haziness in right lung may be due to pneumonia.Pneumonia may present only with fever.It is not necessarily associated with cough etc.
Empirically,you have been prescribed right medicines.
I also suggest follow up chest X-rays to my patients to seen regression of pneumonia.
In non resolving pneumonia,other causes like tuberculosis etc should be ruled out.
Generally it respond well to medicines,so don't worry at all.
Get well soon.
